what i know that few projects I did with B3D, running on my FX5600 around 56 FPS and on 7600GT running around 210FPS...so, for me obviously new hardware making a boost, and for me its clear sign what going on with B3D regarding new hardware...of course some new features supported by newest hardware will be out of reach for B3D, but speed regarding there is a difference and everyone whos saying there is not is damn wrong...
